MULTIDIMENSIONAL OPTIMAL CONTROL OF WIND TURBINE GENERATOR
(2017-04-26)Small differences in wind speed can lead to huge differences in energy capture. In wind turbines, the received wind speed determines the power generation and output torque. However, as wind speed, direction and inflow angle ... -
A MULTIFACTOR REGIME SWITCHING MODEL FOR COUNTRY EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS
(2011-09-06)This thesis explores the returns of country exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with regime switching risk factors. Using the Bayesian information criterion, I select the model with six risk factors and three states among other ... -
Multilevel evaluation of prebiotic and probiotic supplementations, heat stress, and genetic strain effects on blood and intestinal epithelial cells of chicken
(2023-08-24)There is a need to assess how dietary strategies might effectively benefit bird health, performance, and the ability to deal with environmental variability. Metabolomics is suggested as a useful approach for assessing ... -
A Multimethod, Patient-Oriented Examination of Pain in Childhood Cancer Survivors
(2021-12-09)Emerging theory and empirical work suggest that pain is a significant late effect of childhood cancer and trigger of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). This dissertation aimed to: explore the experience and meaning of pain ... -
Multinomial smoothing and investigating elevated disease incidence by penalized likelihood.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
MULTIPHASE FLOW METERING USING A PRESSURE DROP BASED METERING DEVICE
(2018-04-27)A dual-pressure drop based flow measurement device (DPDE) was developed taking advantage of the compressibility of two-phase flow. By creating a pressure drop between two crimped pipe elements with restrictions, a variation ... -

Multiple Visions of Sustainability as an Organizing Principle for Change in Higher Education: How Faculty Conceptualizations of Sustainability in Higher Education Suggest the Need for Pluralism
(2013-05-13)As the United Nation Decade of Education for Sustainable Development draws to a close, there are growing calls for a critical reappraisal of the state of sustainability in Higher Education. The emerging literature suggests ... -
Multiplexed Sensitivity Encoding of Multi-Shot Diffusion-Weighted Echo Planar MRI at 0.5 Tesla for Cholesteatoma Imaging
(2023-10-27)Cholesteatoma is an abnormal skin mass in the middle ear requiring surgical excision, and accurate post-surgical imaging is of interest to avoid repeat surgeries. MRI suffers from susceptibility-induced field gradients at ... -
MULTISCALE STRETCHED-GRIDS FOR FINE RESOLUTION SIMULATIONS OF ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION IN A MASSIVELY PARALLEL CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODEL
(2020-11-09)Modeling atmospheric composition at fine resolution globally is computationally expensive; the capability to focus on specific geographic regions using a multiscale grid is desirable. This work develops, validates, and ... -
